So Samsung unveiled their latest flagship smartphone in NYC this evening. It goes on sale worldwide late in April. No pricing details released yet. I'm getting it on day 1. Anyone else going to get it too? Has some pretty beast specs.

@ game, I was close to purchasing an S3 few months ago, been due for an upgrade since like September, and the S3 and Nexus 4 were the 2 choices that I came close to purchasing. Then rumors about an S4 started popping up, then spec leaks for the past few weeks, so I just waited.

I have a Motorola Droid 2 Global, refurb, first one died about a year in, and it started malfunctioning on me recently too, screen became about 90% unresponsive, went ahead and ordered a refurb Droid 3 off amazon, which had an invalid ESN, sent it back last week, got my money back, then my current phone started randomly working again, and now official news of a release date for an S4 arrive, so it was kinda meant to be that I get the Samsung, lol.

@ Andro, i read the same things earlier on a diff website, i think it was engadget or cnet, but I have an old ass Droid 2 running Android 2.2, with super weak specs by todays standards, a phone like the S4 is gonna blow me away by the mere fact that I had a POS phone haha.

I would have liked a more rectangular look to the phone, and better looking/more durable material for the phone itself rather than plastic. The overall design didn't change all that much.

Another phone that I haven't really heard much of but looks promising is the HTC One. I went to Gizmodo afer reading your mention, and they they pretty much love it there, lol. I really like the design and look of that, specifically the front.

I love my Nexus 4. I think I'll use this for a while until Google release Nexus 6 or something. S4's specs are awesome but the price..? Also they should have put more battery in that thing. No way 2600 mAh will be enough to carry that beast.

just watched the CNET Review, and supposedly the HTC One (which came out february this year) is faster in all aspects then the S4 they were able to play with during the release

and it looks more badass too might have to look into this one..

Yep. That's the HTC One. Looks noiiice doesn't it? It has more of a premium look to it(and probably feel too) than the S4 imo.

I was reading a few hours ago that the S4's that Samsung provided for the reporters and journalists to mess with will probably be different than the final product specs wise(as far as processing speed goes). Mostly speculation, but their gut feeling was that the finished product will run much faster and smoother, which to the average consumer is just nerd talk lol and probably won't matter anyway, and unless you're some tech snob you prob won't notice either.

So far, i'm leaning towards the S4 tho. Gonna go check out the HTC One in store whenever it comes out too. Looks like too much of a sexy piece of technology to not even check out in person.

GS4 has a bigger capacity battery than the HTC One btw. 2600 compared to 2300.

5 inches? Im fine with 4.5 or 4.7 max, why they have to increase the size of the screen every year?

I've owned 2 Motorolas since I made the switch to smartphones in late 2010, and the first one, a Droid 2 just stopped working after a year or so, but even when it was functional it still constantly rebooted, froze, etc.

So I got a replacement Droid 2 Global(because I really like phycical qwerty keyboards), even though I knew most problems would still be there after reading up on it, and it started malfunctioning recently, but thankfully it started working outta nowhere again. But it constantly reboots and freezes.

Can't see myself getting another Motorola phone ever. Even tho Google took over, their new phones STILL keep having the same issues.
